Does it support specific programming languages?

Yes, it includes specialized debugging patterns and tool configurations for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Go, including VS Code launch settings and profiler usage.

Can it help with production-only bugs?

Absolutely. It provides strategies for gathering evidence from error trackers, safe investigation techniques, and methods for reproducing production issues in isolated environments.

How does it handle performance issues?

It provides a 'Profile First' approach, offering guidance on using browser DevTools, Lighthouse, and language-specific profilers like cProfile or pprof to identify bottlenecks.

How does this skill improve the debugging process?

It replaces guesswork with the scientific method, providing structured phases for reproduction, information gathering, hypothesis formation, and verification to find the actual root cause.

What advanced debugging techniques are included?

The skill covers high-level methods like binary search debugging (git bisect), differential debugging (comparing working vs. broken states), and trace debugging using decorators.

Master systematic troubleshooting techniques and root cause analysis to efficiently resolve complex bugs and performance bottlenecks across any technology stack.

Acerca de

The Debugging Strategies skill transforms the often frustrating process of bug-fixing into a methodical, scientific discipline. It equips Claude with structured frameworks for reproducing elusive errors, gathering environment-specific metadata, and forming testable hypotheses. By integrating advanced techniques such as binary search debugging, performance profiling, and memory leak detection, this skill ensures that software issues are not just patched, but understood and resolved at their source. It is particularly useful when navigating unfamiliar codebases, investigating intermittent production failures, or optimizing system-wide performance.
